Living Standards: the 2015 challenge with Jesse Norman MP and Rob Halfon MP

Living standards will be at the heart of the 2015 general election. This event launched new polling from the Resolution Foundation and YouGov which gives fresh insight into what voters think the Conservatives can (and can’t) achieve on the economy and in relation to living standards at the 2015 election.

YouGov’s Joe Twyman presented the research. Jesse Norman MP, Rob Halfon MP, Natalie Elphicke (Million Homes, Million Lives) and Gavin Kelly (Resolution Foundation) responded, providing insights into the potential policy responses the Conservatives might choose to pursue. Bronwen Maddox (Prospect) chaired the event.

This event is part of a Resolution Foundation series on living standards and the 2015 election. The project was launched in April 2013 and includes events at the Liberal Democrat party conference with Danny Alexander MP and at the Labour party conference with Rachel Reeves MP.
